<p>About 30cms of low density snow ontop of rain crust. Facet layer under crust was 'whumpfing' consistently while touring. Seemed relatively likely that this would go on steep large convexites with the right load. Saw some slab properties and small chunks of slab releasing on rain crust on steep up tracks. </p>
